Well, _if_ you don't use "remove unwanted blank lines", and _if_ you
don't have subtotal breaks, and _if_ you don't have any PRINT statements,
then you can take the number of records selected and divide by the number
of records that will fit per page, rounding up, to get the number of
pages that will be printed.

However, lacking all of the above conditions, you cannot know ahead of
time how many pages will be printed.
